ITWire: "Linux users can, at times, be the worst kind of ingrates, whining and complaining about what they perceive as missing features in a free operating system. My advice to all such whingers: spend 10 days using the latest version of Windows and you'll realise that you are living in a world of relative bliss."

I think there's more credibility in having tried both Linux and Windows Vista resulting in a one-sided view, than in having tried Linux but not Windows Vista and nevertheless spotting one-sidedness.

Not necessarily. If 6 billion people say the word is round, and you persist in believing that it is flat, then you're probably neither brave, nor politically-incorrect, nor bloody-minded, but either insane or stupid.
